"Lyceum College" "Wind and Rain Harvard Road" after reading

In "Wind and Rain Harvard Road", she lived in a fixed place, and in the days when she was wandering on the streets, she completed four years of high school in two years, entered Harvard with full honors, and won the "New York Times First Class Scholarship". She has also won the White House Program Role Model Award, the "Fearless Award" specially presented by the American talk show queen Oprah Winfrey, and was received by former US President Clinton. In 2003, Liz's story was brought to the screen, and the film received three nominations at the 55th Emmy Awards. Today, she is a speaker who speaks around the world to inspire people to overcome difficulties to pursue their dreams, give meaning to life, and realize self-worth.

She is Liz Murray, born in 1980 in the slums of the Bronx district of New York City, her parents are addicts to drugs, her personality is only for her own pleasure, she cares little about her family and children, and her little sister is just a gift after the passion of life. Despite her parents' drug use, Liz still loves them deeply. She spent her childhood in an environment of drugs, AIDS and hunger. At school, Liz's dirty clothes and lice hidden in her hair made her ridiculed by her classmates, and she was eventually sent to a girls' shelter for skipping class, where she saw violent fights and brawls, and she was thrilled to lament that some human nature is so sinister. At the age of 15, the family that Liz had worked so hard to maintain was finally broken, and she began to live on the streets, picking up garbage, stealing things, and riding the subway all night, because only here could she warm up and sleep. Thinking about it again and again, Liz had long understood that there was a bright and bright world beyond her life, but she was always separated from that world. When Liz was living on the street, her mother died of AIDS, and the last time she met before her death, she told Liz to go back to school. A fifteen-year-old girl with nothing and nowhere to go after the darkest moments of her life, where to go? Liz thought deeply, and she decided not to continue her aimless and confused life, and day after day she could not see any hope. The mother dies, the father leaves, there are no relatives around, there is no person or place to accept her... There is no way back, so let it go and see if there will be a miracle. She wants to change her fate and go back to high school. With nowhere to live, Liz often studied and slept in subway stations and corridors, completed 4 years of courses in 2 years, and won the "New York Times First Class Scholarship" to enter Harvard University with honors. In the closing speech, she said, I have nothing, and it is precisely because I have no way back that I am desperately trying to see what happens? I walked into Harvard, and the New York Times paid me to study Buddhism. At the bottom, there was a laugh of light approval, and how much hard work was paid in just a few words. I'm afraid only those who have experienced it will understand.

I think Liz is because she has a firm belief in changing her life's destiny. Only again and again to overcome all the difficulties encountered in learning. Finally walked into the coveted Harvard University. Faith is a kind of magic. Everything must have a belief, just like the old man in "The Old Man and the Sea" to insist on his belief, once a person has a firm belief, he is invincible: "A person is not born to be defeated, you can destroy him, but you can't defeat him." This is Santiago's belief in life and the central idea of The Old Man and the Sea. Deeply motivated me to fight for my dreams!
